bmw 335d coupe Vs rs6

[Hedgehog Dodger]

Sakimo mode on, a tuned 335D does 13.4secs 1/4 mile terminal speed of 104mph, according to Google.
I'm not sure what a standard/tuned RS6 does. I'll have a look but I suspect that Doc is right. Standard RS6 does the 1/4 in 12.6.

From my troll of the web road tests on a standard rs5 c5 V8 TT and own experience, on a cool night, the best you will generally see is a 13.01 secs for the quarter.Still fast enough to see off a tuned 335D. Very rare to see a standard C5 rs6 V8TT break into the twelves and I have only read of one that has run 12.9 secs.

A modded c5 rs6 V8TT can achieve twelves.

The only standard RS6 that can regularly run twelves is the C6 V10 TT.

I have to agree.

My 450HP GTR ran a 12.7 @ 117mph and that is considerablly lighter than an RS6 so I would say it would be 13 secs or so for a stock rs6

I went from RS6 to 635d... 0-60mph is no comparison, the RS6 is punch-in-the-kidney's quick... but 60-100mph feels very little difference.

RS6 sounds and looks awesome, and is a feat of engineering.

635d doesn't sound as bad as to be expected from a diesel, but feels much lighter to drive, less understeer and much more modern inside.

For a 3 litre diesel engine, 300bhp+ and almost the same torque as the RS6's V8, its pretty damned impressive in comparison to other manufacturers. Am sorely tempted to run a vmax session to see what it will do. Has anyone seen the *35d engines on a vmax run scoresheet anywhere?

think there was a 335 diesel that ran very good speed/times

We have a few in the 12s stock here. We have a couple more who are in the 11s with a tune and deleted pre-catalytic converters (but main cats in tact). Race gas on the 11 second cars.

I love the C5 RS6. I always feel like more enthusiasts should own it. Car is awesome.
